This site talks about the potential of the auto industry. For teenagers looking for a career in cars. It helps to know that potential of a job that you want to pursue and that is what this site provides for teenagers that may be looking towards a job in cars.
Facts:
employment and gross domestic product (GDP) growth within this declining industry and its automotive parts manufacturing sub-sector between 1998 and 2008.
This research also assesses the influential impact of the annual revenues earned by the top six automotive companies in the United States
the Detroit Three (General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler) and the top three Japanese companies (Toyota, Honda, and Nissan). Controlling for several influential factors
employment and GDP growth among states is generally linked to the improved revenues of U.S. companies relative to Japanese companies.
The one notable exception is Toyota whose revenues were not significantly associated with increases or decreases in state employment or GDP.
Companies in the automotive manufacturing industry are classified by the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) as part of the larger transportation equipment manufacturing industry (NAICS 336)
this research will focus on the employment and GDP associated with the production of cars, as well as light and heavy-duty trucks, by analyzing manufacturers in the following three 4-digit NAICS categories:
the Midwestern states of Michigan (10.3 percent), Indiana (6.3 percent), and Ohio (4.7 percent) are among the four states with over 4 percent of state GDP dependant on automotive manufacturing
Kentucky the only other state with such a high percentage of GDP directly linked to this industry.
Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast—often referred to as “Auto Alley.
Within this industry, the overall trends are declining employment and GDP growth volatility between 1998 and 2008.
states between 2002 and 2006 where automotive manufacturing employment held constant and even increased slightly before declining between 2006 and 2008.
